Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

The strong wind poured into Xia Houmao's neck, accompanied by a powerful force stopping at his vest, followed by a sense of weightlessness spinning around, and then his body hit between the horse's neck and saddle.

Xia Houmao was dizzy for a while, and he felt as if his chest was about to split open. He could only see the horse's hoof and the ground when he opened his eyes. Zhang Fei directly captured him on the horse.

The two soldiers wanted to come to the savior, but they were easily killed by Zhang Fei with one stab and one pick. Because Xia Houmao fell in front of Zhang Fei, the rest of the guards were afraid to go forward. Start fighting.

Zhang Fei's fine cavalry counted one as ten, and they overwhelmed each other in momentum as soon as they confronted each other. Zhang Fei captured important prisoners and was not superior, but retreated into his own army while taking advantage of the scuffle.

Wu Zou carried one more Xia Houmao, which not only increased the load and affected the speed of movement, but also restricted Zhang Fei's performance, so he had to hand over the prisoners of war to others.

Just after handing over the prisoners of war, Zhang Fei was about to have a quick fight. Zhang Da pointed to the front right and reminded: "General, a large number of Wei troops have blocked our way back. The soldiers and horses in Wangyuan City are leaving the city. It seems that the opponent's number is small Wan, you have to find a way to break through."

"That's right... I said that killing is fun..." Zhang Fei nodded affirmatively, and saw Xia Houmao beside him with his hands tied behind his back, lying on the ground and not speaking, followed Zhang Fei and showed his big white teeth: "Don't be afraid, I We have amulets, you don't need to participate in the battle, just keep an eye on this fellow."

"Wei." Zhang Da raised his brows with joy.

The Weishui River Valley where Wangyuan City is located is relatively wide. Due to hasty preparations and no defensive facilities such as rejecting horses and antlers, it is not easy to keep the five hundred elite cavalry. Even if Wei Jun paid a heavy price, Zhang Fei and his The Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, who was accompanied by life and death, had a chance to break out of the encirclement if they went all out.

Now with the consort Xia Houmao as a shield, there is great hope for the five hundred fine riders to escape unscathed, so Zhang Da feels happy for the soldiers.

"The enemy chief, Zhang Fei, is right here. Hold them back and don't let Hei Si run away. Let me kill them." Xia Houmao was captured without a leader, and Zhao Yu, the guard of Wangyuan who retreated to the formation, immediately took over the command. The army rushed over with all its strength.

"General Zhao, son-in-law..." A guard of Xia Houmao hurriedly reminded him, meaning that the son-in-law was captured alive by Zhang Fei, don't you plan to throw a trick?

Zhao Yu incited and said: "Zhang Fei is extremely cruel, the son-in-law must not survive, we just want to avenge him, General Han's reinforcements have arrived, we must not let them go."

"revenge……"

"kill……"

The fighting spirit of the Wangyuan defenders was aroused, and the crowd rushed up again like hungry wolves, trying to keep Zhang Fei behind with huge casualties.

"Puff, I should have killed him just now."

Zhang Fei held up his snake spear and was about to charge into battle, Zhang Da hurriedly stopped him and reminded him: "General, Zhao Yu is the guard of Wangyuan City, so he doesn't care about Xia Houmao's life or death, we might as well go east and fight and go, the soldiers over there The horse may have belonged to Xia Houmao."

"You can do it, boy." Zhang Fei first exaggerated Zhang Da, and then ordered: "The captives have been captured, and the order is to retreat to the east. It is about time for Wu Er to come to meet him."

"Wei." Zhang Da clasped his fists and nodded.

Zhang Fei took the lead, leading [-] elite cavalry to fight and retreat to the east, but Han Shao's reinforcements seemed to see through his intentions. Thousands of cavalry moved to form a semicircle encirclement, and thousands of infantry were throwing their legs and chasing forward.

With Han Shao's cavalry blocking the way in front and Zhao Yu's chasing troops behind him, Zhang Fei was instantly caught in a dilemma. Forcibly breaking through would cause heavy casualties to the five hundred elite cavalry.

"Zhang Fei, you have been tricked by my son-in-law, and now you are surrounded by my army, why don't you get off your horse and be bound?" Han Shao pointed at him with a gun, his face full of pride.

Chapter 729 There Are Conditions for Redeeming the Prince Consort

"Hahaha, I seem to have heard a joke. What's your name? It's too long to be so close?" Zhang Fei's hearty laughter, like Huang Zhong Dalu's shocking heart, caused a small area of ​​riots in front of the enemy's formation.

Han Shao swallowed his saliva when he heard this, and was pulled to the back two rows by the guards to stop. The guard cavalry in front clenched their swords and guns and stared at Zhang Fei as if they were facing an enemy.

"I am Feng Yi (place name) Han Shao, Zhang Fei, you are already a bird in a cage and a fish in a net, don't be arrogant." Han Shao was stern, hiding in the crowd with an iron gun and shouting.

"What a rat..." Zhang Fei immediately stepped forward, with a horizontal spear in front of him, and roared loudly: "I am Zhang Yide from Yan, who dares to fight to the death with me."

The wild sound surged away, and the horses around Han Shao seemed to feel the danger, and they kept screaming and switching horseshoes on the spot, and no one dared to respond to Zhang Fei's challenge.

"I am Zhang Yide from Yan, who dares to fight to the death with me." Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows and raised his spear forward. The enemy was so frightened that he retreated two steps instead of advancing.

Seeing that the soldiers were flustered, Han Shao quickly ordered the battalion leaders to restrain their movements. He bit the bullet and came to the front of the formation again, pointing at the soldiers and horses behind him, and threatened Zhang Fei playfully: "Hei Si, your courage is certainly admirable. But the difference in strength between the two sides is dozens of times, who would be foolish enough to fight with you? If you don’t surrender, you will die.”

"Oh? You are too timid to fight for generals, so I have no choice but to invite Concubine Xiahou to judge." Zhang Fei teased a few words, then turned to stare at Zhang Da and ordered: "Why don't you invite Concubine Xiahou to the front?"

"Wei." Zhang Da cupped his fists.

Immediately afterwards, three people and three horses walked side by side to the front of the formation. Xia Houmao was in the middle position, sitting on the horse's back with his hands tied.

For the convenience of escorting Xia Houmao while riding, a wooden stick was fixed behind the three of them at the same time. When they ran, the three horses advanced and retreated at the same time. The state was more like "two bulls carrying a bar".

"Prince Xiahou, Han Shao is your man, right? He said just now that he wants to burn everything, if you want to live, tell him to make way, if you can send my enemy back, then let you go back, and my people will also go back to Wudu. "Zhang Fei said meaningfully.

Xia Houmao was fixed between the two horses, and watched his generals want to cry without tears. Although his son-in-law had lost his face, he didn't have the courage to die for the country, and his strong desire to survive made him choose to succumb.

"Is this true? Dare I ask who is General Zhang's enemy?" Xia Houmao had a glimmer of hope.

Zhang Fei sneered and said: "I, Zhang Fei, say one thing and one thing. If you don't believe it now, the end will be a dead end. Then Han Shao may not be able to stop it. My enemies are Tianshui Jiang Wei and Jiang Boyue."

"Where is Jiang Wei?" Xia Houmao asked.

Zhang Fei whispered: "This person is in Jicheng, you can ask Han Shao to exchange Jiang Wei for you."

"Master Han, this general is here, why don't you let General Zhang pass?" Xia Houmao shouted.

Han Shao was shocked when he saw Xia Houmao. Zhao Yu sent a message when he was moving just now, saying that Xiahoumao had been attacked and killed by Zhang Fei, so he desperately wanted to stop Zhang Fei.

"My son-in-law... are you still alive?" Han Shao's face was full of joy.

"Don't talk nonsense, let General Zhang's cavalry go over, do you want this general to die? General Zhang promised to redeem me." Xia Houmao yelled loudly.

When Xia Houmao is dead, he must die, but if he is alive, he must obey orders. Han Shao is a local military general in Yongzhou, and he finally followed a relative of the emperor. If Zhang Fei kills Xiahoumao in a hurry, Han Shao's good days will not only come to an end In the future, he may be held accountable by the court, and even the whole family will be killed.

Han Shao didn't dare to gamble and couldn't afford to gamble. At this moment, news came from the scouts that Zhang Fei's main cavalry had appeared to the east, and it only took half a stick of incense to arrive. The movement speed on the opposite side was faster than that of the Wei army's infantry. Even faster.

"Give me a way to let General Zhang and the others pass." Han Shao weighed the pros and cons and finally made a decision.

Zhang Fei personally escorted Xia Houmao, and walked through Han Shao's army vigilantly. Frightened by Zhang Fei's strength, Han Shao's men and horses all stood by the roadside in an orderly manner, and no one dared to stroke the tiger's beard.

When the five hundred fine riders passed halfway, Zhao Yu detoured to Han Shao's front, and asked in shock, "Master Han, you dare to let Zhang Fei go, is it because you want to rebel?"

Han Shao was furious after hearing this, and replied, "Zhao Yu, why did you concoct the death of your son-in-law? This is for the safety of your son-in-law. Could it be that you want to rebel?"

"The son-in-law is still alive? Don't be fooled." Zhao Yu pretended to be stupid and reminded quickly.

Han Shao teased, "The general is not blind, nor is he deaf."

Zhao Yu was so stunned that he couldn't refute, Zhang Fei's cavalry passed through quickly and joined the main force led by Wu Er and others in the east.

At this time, Zhao Yu's men and horses, as well as the reinforcements in the city, also joined Han Shao's army, and the two sides changed positions and faced each other on the banks of the Weishui River again.

"General Zhang, walk slowly, I don't know what conditions are required to redeem the son-in-law." Han Shao asked Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei smiled and replied: "The general will wait for you near Shangyu for two days. As long as you bring me Jiang Wei from Tianshui, Xiahou's concubine will not miss a hair, otherwise I will take Xiahou's concubine to go to the palace." Debate as a guest."

"General Zhang, are you serious?" Han Shao didn't believe it.

Zhang Fei smiled and did not explain. He asked Xia Houmao to come back again.

Xia Houmao sternly reprimanded: "Boss Han, hurry up and ask for it. The Jiang family and Ma Mengqi have a deep blood feud. General Zhang came to Liangzhou to avenge General Ma. Hurry up and tie Jiang Wei and replace me."

"Uh... the general will obey..." The moment Han Shao spoke, Zhang Fei had already taken Xia Houmao and left eastward.

Han Shao looked at the cavalry going away and fell into deep thought. Zhao Yu walked up to him at this time and reminded him in a low voice, "It's actually a ransom again. This is Zhang Fei's usual trick. General Han should think twice before acting."

"What do you have to think twice? How can you ignore the safety of the son-in-law?" Han Shao frowned.

Zhao Yu continued to remind: "Jiang Wei is a martyr, and the Jiang family is originally from Tianshui. They have a great influence in Jicheng. How can we agree to General Han's replacement of Jiang Wei?"

"What about the Tianshui clan? The son-in-law is the son of the former great general and a close friend of His Majesty today. What can Jiang Wei compare with the prince?" Han Shao didn't care about the Tianshui clan. He only knew that he had left Xiahoumao and was in Chang'an , Nothing in Wei.

"Since Zhang Fei wanted to avenge Ma Chao, Jiang Boyue sent him there to die. I'm afraid the prefect Ma would not agree to such a cruel act." Zhao Yu shook his head.

"Jiang Wei is just from a poor family. It is his honor to die for his son-in-law. Zhang Fei only gave us two days. General Zhao will take his troops back to the city with me first. I will go to Jicheng in person in a while. Trust Ma The prefect will definitely take care of the overall situation." Han Shao's eyes froze, and he didn't give Zhao Yu a chance to refute.

7 Chapter Thirty

Han Shao returned to Wangyuan City to purge the army, and planned to rush to Jicheng to ask Ma Zun.

At ten o'clock at noon, another group of soldiers suddenly appeared at the west gate of Wangyuan. The person who came also called himself Jicheng Jiang Wei, and asked to enter the city to see the guard Zhao Yu.

In the morning, Zhang Fei pretended to be Jiang Wei of Jicheng and abducted his son-in-law Xiahoumao majesticly. Now that another Jiang Wei appeared in the same position, he had to make the guard of the city gate suspicious, and then quickly came to the county government to report to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu was shocked after hearing this, and said to Jiang Wei, you are unlucky, and Han Shao is about to give you to Zhang Fei, and I can't find a reason to help you evade it, so you ran to a dead end by yourself.

How to do it?Zhao Yu was very conflicted, he could see that Xia Houmao hated him, so it would be bad for him to save him, and Jiang Wei had a good reputation in Tianshui, if he could save him, he could also seek favor from the Jiang family.

After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Yu finally made up his mind. He planned to leave the city without telling Han Shao. As long as he tried to delay Jiang Wei for two days, and waited for Zhang Fei to escort Xia Houmao to Qishan Road, Han Shao would naturally have nothing to do.

Zhao Yu hurried out of the county office, but accidentally ran into Han Shao in military uniform.

"Where is General Zhao going?" Han Shao was full of curiosity.

"Uh... the general is familiar with the terrain of Tianshui, why not let me go to Jicheng instead of the general? Prefect Ma should meet Zhang Fei's request." Zhao Yu asked for a job.

Han Shao frowned, thinking to himself why Zhao Yu had to wait until now to help?At this time, his strange expression was a bit suspicious, how dare Han Shao entrust Xia Houmao's life and death to an outsider?

"Zhang Fei may come at any time. General Zhao still guards Wangyuan. Jiang Wei's matter must not be wrong. I will go to Ma Taishou personally to talk about it." Han Shao replied seriously.

Zhao Yu turned his eyes, and then made a suggestion: "Since General Han insists, then the general will not argue with you. It will take half a day to go to Jicheng, and the general needs to bring more water bags. Running on the road will make you thirsty."

"Thank you General Zhao for your kindness." Han Shao nodded in greeting.

"The last general has something to do at home, so let's take my leave first." Zhao Yu smiled and clasped his fists, turned around and told his followers: "Go and prepare a water bag for General Han, and ask someone to bring me the horse."

At this time, a fast horse came straight to the county government office, Zhao Yu hurriedly stopped his followers: "You should go and prepare the water bag, I will use a human horse."

"Wei." The follower clasped his fists and left.

Seeing that Han Shao and Zhao Yu were outside the Yamen, the messenger hurriedly pulled the reins and stopped in front of them, turned over beautifully and stood firmly on the ground.

Zhao Yu rushed forward one step ahead, snatched the rein from the messenger, and said solemnly: "Your mount, this general is temporarily requisitioned."

"General Zhao go quickly, Jiang Wei is urging him outside the city."

The word Jiang Wei stimulated the nerves of the two of them. Zhao Yu felt like crying but couldn't cry at the moment. He wondered why the messenger was so talkative.

"General Zhao, Jiang Wei is outside the city?"

Han Shao strode up to Zhao Yu and stared straight into the other's eyes. Zhao Yu's strange behavior finally had a source. He seemed to be going to tip off the news?

"Ahem, the general just found out, maybe Zhang Fei is cheating again, and the general is planning to go out of the city to verify the authenticity." Zhao Yu replied ambiguously.

Han Shao frowned when he heard that, he turned his head and asked the messenger: "Jiang Wei outside the city now, are those people from the morning?"

"It's not like..." The orderly shook his head.

"General Zhao?" Han Shao called playfully.

Zhao Yu swallowed his saliva and replied, "The end is here."

"How about we go to identify it together?" Han Shao asked.

"Wei." Zhao Yu lowered his head.

Zhao Yu's mood at the moment is like being found cheating in an exam, and the invigilator sitting beside him is nervous and uneasy.

Han Shao whispered a few words to his entourage, and then followed Zhao Yu to the gate tower of the west city to meet Jiang Wei.

Seeing Zhao Yu appearing at the top of the city, Jiang Wei urged his horse to take a few steps forward, looked at the tower and clasped his fists and said, "Zhang Fei's troops suddenly disappeared yesterday. The eunuch was worried that he was going to earn money from Wangyuan and Shangyu, so he sent Jiang Wei here The counties are investigating the situation."

"I haven't heard that there is Jiang Wei in the Tianshui army. How can I prove that I am Ma Taishou? Maybe I am a spy. My random arrows don't have eyes." Zhao Yu raised his hand and waved. The archers lined up their bows and set their arrows.

Jiang Wei was taken aback when he heard that, although he didn't know Zhao Yu, but he wouldn't be unknown, right?He clasped his fists and explained: "I am Jiang Wei, the top strategist. General Zhao should have heard my name. Ma Taishou sent people to various counties to inquire about the news. It was the humble official who volunteered..."

Earlier in Liangzhou, it was said that as long as he got the sinner Jiang Wei, he was willing to withdraw his troops. Since Zhang Fei had been entrenched around Jicheng for a long time, making life more difficult for the people in the city, his dissatisfaction with Jiang Wei became stronger.

Facing the huge pressure of survival, the rules of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust gradually became invalid. Many people wanted to sacrifice Jiang Wei to save Jicheng. The prefect Ma Zun discussed with Liang Xu, Yin Shang and others several times, but he still thought of Jiang Jiong’s contribution and did not agree. .

Gong Cao Liang Xu had a friendship with Jiang Wei, he secretly advised Jiang Wei to go out to "refuge", and used the metaphor of "Shen Sheng died inside, Chong'er was safe outside", so Jiang Wei asked Ying to appear in Wangyuan.

"Hmm... do you have evidence?" Zhao Yu was deliberately embarrassed.

Jiang Wei was very puzzled, how could he have evidence for his low-ranking status, he smiled helplessly: "General Zhao is so cautious, the general admires it, anyway, Zhang Fei is not found around Wangyuan, Jiang Wei will go to Shangyu to have a look, I will say goodbye at the end..."

Zhao Yu was ecstatic in his heart. He thought he was covering up well and was doing things according to the morning routine, but Han Shao next to him didn't think so. He didn't think Zhang Fei would be so boring and used the name Jiang Wei repeatedly for fun.

"Jiang Boyue, wait a moment." Han Shao stepped forward and called out.

Jiang Wei looked at the stranger on the city wall with a puzzled expression on his face.

"I am Han Shao, the accountant of General Anxi (Xiahoumao). General Anxi rushed to aid Liangzhou under the order of His Majesty. He has successfully driven Zhang Fei into Qishan Road, so there is no need to go to Shangyu to inquire about the news, but hurry to the city to meet him. Xiahou's son-in-law, then go back to Jicheng to report victory." Han Shao stroked his beard and nodded.

"General Anxi... defeated Zhang Fei?" Jiang Wei was very surprised.

"General Zhao, why don't you ask people to open the city gate? General Boyue has worked hard all the way, and he will go to the city to meet his son-in-law later, and he should drink some water before returning to Jicheng. Don't treat young people like this..." Han Shao pretended accountability.

"The last general doesn't dare, I will arrange it right away..."

Zhao Yu knew that Han Shao had no good intentions, but Xia Houmao had been taken away by Zhang Fei, so who would Jiang Wei meet after entering the city?As soon as he turned around, Han Shao immediately leaned forward, and scolded in a subdued voice: "General Zhao, you'd better do as I tell you, otherwise I'm only asking about the safety of the son-in-law."

Chapter 731 Jiang Wei Gets into the Net and Becomes a Fish and Turtle

After a while, the gate of Wangyuan City was opened wide, and Jiang Wei rode his horse into the city.
